Biden pushes for better compensation for airline delays and cancellations.

President Joe Biden's administration is drafting new rules that will require airlines to compensate passengers with cash for significant flight delays or cancellations when the carriers are responsible. The U.S. Department of Transportation did not specify how much cash it aims to require airlines to pay passengers for significant delays. The delay compensation rules will be proposed by the end of the year, but it could take years to finalize rules, and some carriers privately question whether the department has the legal authority to mandate compensation for delays.
